Hen or Roo

[BantyChickMom]

Here are some close up shots of some of my
banty cochins,

White pullet about 4 months

Silver penciled pullet, 3 months

Hope these help you!!

I say first two have a CHANCE at being pullets but I hate to say I think the rest are all roos. I hope I'm wrong for your sake.

I agree with howlingwoodsfarm, tentatively I'll say the first two might be girls.

I am certainly no expert however, and please do not make a batch of chicken soup based on what I say! I had the hardest time with my first batch, and really hens do have all sorts of comb sizes.

I totally agree with you Queen.

Pics i posted are just my birds and don't indicated either way what someone else may have.

Hopefully, some will end up girls.

Well the first two were the ones I was totally questioning as I was pretty sure that the others were roos as their combs have been larger and really red for a week or two now. So anybody want any roos?

By the way BantyChickMom I have a white cochin pullet that looks a lot like yours, she is about 5 months old and she is such a love.

The first one is the only one that is a pullet or may be one, all of the rest are roos.

Hi Michelle,
I'd say the ones in the first and second pics are girls.

Is the one in the 4th pic barred? Looks like it --- I'll take him back

Thanks for the pics! That's the first chick pics I've seen from the 'lemon blue with the barring gene' Cochin roo.

Lisa,

Yeah the 4th one is barred (too bad you don't live closer or you could have him) and of course the 6th one is my favorite but oh well life does go on. If the first one is a hen then that makes me happy as it will give me the frizzle I wanted even though I was hoping for more than one.
